The Rafah crossing, the only linking point between Egypt and the besieged Gaza, has reopened after 25 days of closure, allowing the first group of injured evacuees to cross into Egypt under a Qatari-mediated deal. The deal also permits up to 500 foreign passport holders, including U.S. and dual nationality citizens, as well as Jordanian citizens, to leave Gaza. The wounded from Gaza will be transferred to the hospital in El Arish in the north of Egypt. The agreement was reached amid ongoing Israeli strikes against Hamas militants in Gaza.
